Omics for aquatic ecotoxicology; Control of extraneous variability to enhance the analysis of environmental effects
There are multiple sources of biological and technical variation in a typical ecotoxicology study that may not be revealed by traditional endpoints but that become apparent in an omics dataset. As researchers increasingly apply omics technologies to environmental studies, it will be necessary to challenge ourselves to understand and control the main source(s) of variability to facilitate ...

Ecotoxicology
The term ecotoxicology was coined by René Truhaut in 1969 who defined it as "the branch of toxicology concerned with the study of toxic effects, caused by natural or synthetic pollutants, to the constituents of ecosystems, animal (including human), vegetable and microbial, in an ...

Acute toxicity tests and meta‐analysis identify gaps in tropical ecotoxicology for amphibians
Amphibian populations are declining worldwide, particularly in tropical regions where amphibian diversity is highest. Pollutants, including agricultural pesticides, have been identified as a potential contributor to decline, yet toxicological studies of tropical amphibians are very rare. The present study assesses toxic effects on amphibians of 10 commonly used commercial pesticides in ...

Exploring ecotoxicological fish bioassay for the evaluation of uranium reprotoxicity
Although reproduction in fish is known to be sensitive to metal exposure, few ecotoxicological studies have focused on the toxicological effects of metals on reproduction in fish. Because uranium (U) is naturally present in aquatic ecosystems (0.6–2 mg/L), freshwater organisms are subjected to chronic U exposure. Although new standardised assays are currently being developed to mimic realistic ...
